...but I know crackfoo is still trying to get the sha256 stratums more stable which, with either method, could potentially solve all the problems.
Yeah, I haven't totally given up.
A 17.7TH/s miner (an S9 with four B4 blades) put on a low difficulty coin is fun to watch.

Ok. I have two servers now handling the stratum loads. you can either continue to use mine.zpool.ca (preferred) which will randomly direct you to one of them or you can try your luck and find out which one works best for you by using either mine1.zpool.ca or mine2.zpool.ca
